Created attachment 664981 [details] typescript from directory s, below the zip archive Description of problem: 7za does not put extracted files in subdirectories. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): p7zip-9.20.1-2.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Try to recursively extract from archive at http://www.dingleberry.it/Dingleberry-3.3.3-source.zip . (I downloaded it first.) Steps to Reproduce: 1. wget http://www.dingleberry.it/Dingleberry-3.3.3-source.zip 2. 7za e Dingleberry-3.3.3-source.zip 3. Actual results: Subdirectories are created, but empty. Expected results: Files listed as having been extracted should be in the subdirectories. Additional info: The documentation for the -r switch says to avoid using it! I have tried -r, -r0 and -r src, to no avail.
On re-reading man 7za, I discovered the "x" command that does what I wanted.
